This book finds its authors drawing on their extensive professional experience to teach largely by example. For instance, to illustrate software techniques useful for any application, they present a toolkit to solve the complex problem of digital image manipulation. By using a concrete, real-world problem, with exact feature, performance, and extensibility requirements described, they showin a way that theoretical books cannothow to leverage existing software components and the tools inherent to C++ to speed development, promote reuse, and deliver successful software products.
This book includes:

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the source code for the book's examplesthe image framework, the unit test framework, makefilesas well as useful third-party software, such as Sysinteral's DebugView and evaluation versions of the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) for optimizing your code and the Intel® C++ Compiler.
